B Chemicals refines crude oil into petrol. The refining process uses two types of crude oil –
heavy and light. A mixture of these oils is blended into either Super or Regular petrol.
In the refining process one gallon (g) of Super is made from 0.7 g of heavy crude and 0.5 g of
light crude. One gallon of Regular is made from 0.5 g of heavy crude and 0.7 g of light crude
oil. (There is a refining loss of 0.2 g in each case.)
At present, 5,000 g of heavy crude and 6,000 g of light crude oil are available for refining each
day. Market conditions suggest that at least two-thirds of the petrol refined should be Super.
The company makes contribution of $0.25 per gallon of Super and $0.10 per gallon of
Regular.Calculate the optimum production plan and the resulting total contribution, and
briefly explain your answer.My answer is wrong… And i didn’t understand the solution given in the kit
I do not have the question in my exam kit unfortunately, so I can’t answer your questions sadly.
You obviously have an answer to the question in your Kit, and so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain. I certainly do not have the time to prepare a full answer for you, especially when you already have an answer.
As to why your answer is wrong, I have no idea whatsoever since I do not know what you have done!
I do assume of course that you have already watched our free lecture on linear programming?
Well, the answer I have done and the answer in the kit is entirely different. And I don’t understand a thing in the kit
